This is the definative song of the album i think, and it's one of my favourite songs ever written. (Also, despite critical statements about the Ether Song album, it's great, and perfect for those seeking acoustic bliss.) Chords ====== (779987) (557775) (335553) (224442) E (022100) or alternatively (779997) (224432) A (002220) or alternatively (577655) Intro ===== Here they are just playing through the verse chords, first plucking the 5th string note, and then strumming the rest of the strings after. (N.B. When they reach the C they strum the rest of the strings subsequent times.) The chords are: - - - Then they launch into the verse: (N.B. when strumming the chords highlight the top 3 strings to get the same effect on the song.) Verse ===== If this gets ugly, I swear, this ain't our last chance. The vultures that circle, my head, are flying alongside. The world's turning... Chorus ====== I let somebody get under my skin. Long distance, losing is all that i'd seen. Now there's a river. Now there's a river. Verse ===== Nothing can save me, my resolve betrayed me, Here come the hurricanes, I'm burning to get there, the middle of nowhere, Storm warnings flicker while, The world's turning. Chorus ====== I let somebody get under my skin. Long distance, losing is all that i'd seen. Now there's a river. Now there's a river. After chorus keep strumming the chorus chords... Chorus [slight break in the strumming pattern here] ====== | | I let somebody| get under my skin. Long distance, losing is all that i see. Now there's a river. Now there's a river. Keep strumming the A chord until fade out. James Sweatman --------------
